Driving down rural Louisiana highways, vehicles bounce now and then, dipping into potholes and back out. For some small towns, these highways are the only thoroughfare, and the front ends of local cars withstand the brunt of the damage.

The Quality Surface Program is a three-year, $425 million initiative to repair 1,100 miles of rural roads statewide, approximately 100 of which are located in northeastern Louisiana. Local officials say the repairs will improve both the economy in rural areas and the safety of the drivers.
